Geocache Description:

The Texas State Railroad


There is a slight reprieve in the legislature's thoughts on the railroad; however, the funding for it is still in question, so stay tuned for more information. And please sign the petition to help stop the closing of this Texas tradition.

Note! You must go to the park office and pay the entrance fee or show them your Texas Parks Passport in order to log this cache! By doing so, you will help geocaching continue to be a readily accepted use of Texas State Parks by parks management.

Rusk State Park is located adjacent to the extremely nifty Texas State Railroad Rusk Depot in Cherokee County. Be sure to take a ride on the train while you're here!

This park offers some of the nicest camping facilities I've seen at a Texas state park! The tent pads are level and clean, and the RV hookups and parking areas are in great shape.

There is a small lake for fishing and paddle boats are available for rent.

This mini cache is hidden on the nature trail that runs by the wildlife viewing area. Please stay on the trail! There is no need to bushwack or trample the area.
The cache is no more than 5 yards off the trail, hidden in an obvious spot. Bring a pen or pencil and small trade items.

Thanks to Joyrose for the cache container!
